The Ribbon in My Journal – Phyllis Hoffman DePiano

A Visit with Brandon Branch

It is always amazing to meet people that are support staff to celebrities. One of my favorite people in the world is Brandon Branch, assistant to Paula Deen. I first met Brandon when we went to Savannah to do photography for the first issue of Cooking with Paula Deen magazine. The premiere issue was a Christmas theme, and the decorations and tablescape creations were Brandon’s. Aside from being terribly creative, he is delightfully funny.

You will enjoy my interview with Brandon and get the answers to the question we are asked often: “How do you get to work for Paula Deen?”

After seeing a peek into Brandon’s world, would you want to be a celebrity assistant?
